I'm a wedding and travel photographer with over three years of full-time experience, based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Love and adventure are at the heart of everything I do—especially since meeting my amazing husband, Ian, who supports my dreams of travel and business.

I am here to capture those in between moments and the little things that make your relationship different and unique. I am a wanderer at heart and I am usually all over the place photographing and exploring.

She seriously made us feel so comfortable and went out of her way to find the most gorgeous locations at our venue.

“Elle is literally the best! She was my wedding photographer and I will sing her praises to the highest mountain! She was super attentive the day of and very flexible with getting different shots that weren’t necessarily planned. Elle got us our photos less than a month after our wedding! We will definitely look her up for any milestone photos when she’s in the area!”

“If you do not pick Elle May for all of your photo needs you are truly missing out! She is the absolute best and such a great person. It’s hard to find people who are just passionate and love what they do. She exceeded our expectations and her work is absolutely breathtaking. She did our engagement and wedding photos, both were amazing. Big moments like these stay with you forever and it is magical when you can look at and relive it over and over.”

“Elle was the sweetest person to work with, everything felt so natural and easy. If you are camera shy Elle does a great job at directing you and taking the nerves away! The pictures turned out so beautiful and romantic. And she delivered them so quickly. Again, thank you Elle can't wait for more sessions.”

“First of all, let me just say this girl is amazing and super welcoming. I always wanted to do a boudoir session, but I was always nervous and self conscious about doing it. I finally decided to do it and oh my goodness, Elle is your girl. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful the whole time, and the photos are AMAZING! 10/10 definitely recommend!”
